Spence is going to be a Walker-esque star, just watch his highlights vs PL opposition last season.

There is nothing mysterious about him
Shame he hasn’t played much in the preseason.

We were dreadful at RWB last season barring a few good games from Doherty. Even then, he’s extremely limited even when he does occasionally produce.

If RWB continues to be our worst position, we are going to have missed a big opportunity to improve the team considering how important wing backs are to Conte.

RWB is by far the position that concerns me the most (especially if Spence doesn’t see much time) and it’s not like we can use Perisic on the right because Sess isn’t any better than the rest.

I think this lack of squad cover will get brought out into the open within the first couple of games

Which big-time RWB did we "miss the opportunity" to sign?

You are the definition of blindly throwing shit at a wall..... Absolute 🤡 💩 .

We currently have 3 LWBs, 3 RWBs, 6 CBs, 6 CMs, 6 FWDs..... Potentially we are only missing Skipp for the opening game (see Conte's words today) + Richarlison due to a one match ban.

Who would he replace in the starting eleven?
If we want to win anything (much less challenge for the league) we absolutely have to stop thinking solely about the starting eleven, and talk about squad depth and rotation options.

It isn't clear to me that an attacking midfielder is the highest priority on Conte's list, but it would give us options to change our shape and keep opponents guessing, which would be nice.
 
The OWNERS, mate. Not the CLUB

*these stepford supporters really need to start distinguishing between the two*

Anyhow, that aside, 1 Carling Cup in over 2 decades, and 0 trophies in 15 years, for a club of our size and wealth surely indicates I have a very valid point.

The stats don't lie, my friend, whichever way you want to spin them


Edit: Big thanks to todd1882 todd1882 for enlightening me to the term "Stepford fan / supporter"
I think I'll be using it quite a lot in the future
How did we get to our size and wealth? Has that got anything to do with the owners?

Be careful. I come with stats.
 
My enthusiasm was sapped right out of me this morning.
Woke up with searing pain in my big toe. Suspect a fracture from running a lot. Now have to contend with a LOT of walking on Saturday with that pain

Toes are bastards. Many a year ago I injured my toe simply kicking a football (Very poor technique). Pain for weeks due to walking being quite integral.
